COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — As Dana Holgorsen swaps country roads for Houston tollways, let’s ruminate on his West Virginia legacy:
Eight (years) is enough
That was ample time for Holgorsen to put his stamp on the program, to build an identity, to prove himself as a recruiter. Results were middling.
His 61 wins were one more than Rich Rodriguez and second only to Don Nehlen’s 149 in program history, yet his .598 winning percentage doesn’t crack the top 10 among WVU coaches who served multiple seasons.
He won a three-way share of the Big East title in 2011 and doused Clemson 70-33 in the Orange Bowl.
